After anti-LGBTQ+ neo-Nazi leader Christopher Pohlhaus purchased a 10.6-acre property in Springfield, Maine with the hopes of turning it into a Nazi training ground, local residents found out about his plan and made him feel very unwelcome. He eventually sold the property, blaming “militant leftists” for the unwanted attention he earned.

Pohlhaus is founder of the fascist group “Blood Tribe,” a group that protested an Ohio drag brunch last May. His group chanted the words “Blood,” “Under the Aryan Sun,” and “No transgenders on our streets,” while throwing Nazi salutes. He also led a similar protest against a drag queen story hour in Akron, Ohio in mid-March.

    I am 100% with you about believing people when they tell you who they are. They’ll cut off their own nose to spite their face, never, ever underestimate a conservatives capacity to withstand hardship or pain if it’s causing their rival more or the same. It’s inspiring, in all the wrong ways.

    Liberals in blue states have been the largest group buying guns and ammo since 2016 and the trend hasn’t slowed.

    Look into it. I live in a blue Western state outside the major metropolitan area, which I worked in for 15 years.

    Id say a good 80% of the people I know vote Dem and id say a SOLID 85% of everyone I know across the board owns a gun. Everyone is armed, in their homes/apartments at a minimum.

    Interestingly, out of the 1000s of ppl I know, veterans (and students 😞) want gun control the most, while those I know in working on the force or in law in a another capacity and vehemently against. Which is kind of mind blowing. Gun control would make a cops job easier, maybe not in the first year, but it’d cumulatively stack. Australia did it, it can be done, save any arguments unless you want to explain how another unruly offspring if the British Empire is soooo culturally different than we are.

    Anyways, tons of Liberals own guns, like guns, and can actually afford to take them to the range all the fucking time, they just don’t fucking yap on and on about it and make it their personality.

    I wish they felt the same about craft beer, for fucks sake.
